Metallica: Orion (Arlington, TX - August 18, 2023) 

One of the greatest pieces in music history. RIP Cliff 🤘

I think we can all agree Metallica is the best.

All around great performance. Huge shoutout to Rob for absolutely killing the bass and allowing Cliff’s legacy to live on. Rob allows young fans like myself to hear Orion live, like the original metallica fans with cliff

I was on the barricade and they played this RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME! Hetfield gave his wristbands to my kids and Lars personally handed a stick to my daughter. My girlfriend also won the Limited Edition signed Skate deck!! Greatest band of all time and the greatest concert of my life!

9:21 The best moment of entire video , just in the heart "We miss you , we love you Cliff"🤘

Seeing Rob try his very hardest to pull off one of, if not the best bass solo of all time is legendary

Take a bow Robert. Cliff would be most happy with that performance. Magnificent.

So unfortunate that Cliff never got to play Orion live. If he saw how Rob plays it, though, he wouldn't be disappointed. RIP Cliff, you'll live on through your music! 🤘

I was there,finally got to hear Orion in concert,plus it's the only album I've heard every track live in concert.Hope they come back again soon to Texas.

This Friday concert was crazy! But the Sunday concert may have been one of the craziest and greatest metallic concerts in the past few decades!!! Tons of people body surfing, intense moshpits, people screaming all around me, jumping around, huge group headbanging! It was surreal... LET"S GO METALLICA!!!

Rob is the reason they started to play Orion live, he doesnt have the backing vocals or that agression, but we have Orion live, and that's more than enough.

No matter what people say about Lars. The guy has his own style and in this concert, he sounded massive! Straight to the point. Simplified drumming sound. Concrete! Sometimes less y more!! 👊

Orion is an absolute masterpiece of classical music

My favorite Metallica song of all time 🤘 I think the harmony section in the middle is the best it has ever sounded as well. Awesome.

HOLY SHIT! I have listened to Orion a million times... but this might have been their best version yet! WOW

I am beyond proud to say I watched this live and you guys killed it. RIP CLIFF AND THANK U ROBERT FOR THIS MASTERPIECE

Metallica the greatest band of all time!

After 27 years of seeing Metallica live & they finally played this song for me to experience.......... I was a sobbing mess 🤘

That intro is a killer.

The only metal song that ever brought me to tears. It gets me every time, for almost 40 years.

I was there for this masterpiece. First time I heard it live and it was an awesome experience

A Metallica concert isn't just another gig, it's an experience!

I love the way the band is all grouped together. In memory of Cliff. RIP

My wife doesn’t even like metal, actually she hates it cuz I’m constantly playing it on my guitar. However, she loves this song, and I’m sending this to her. Just perfect boys!

If this song wasn't perfection already, this intro makes it perfection

Orion still so perfect live...Cliff'em ALL

It's awesome to see most Metallica fans are now fully embracing Rob as part of the band. It's about time, he's been in it for longer now than Cliff and Jason combined! Such a great bassist and worthy of carrying on and adding to their legacy.

Finally. It only took me six Metallica concerts to see this live. This, to me, was the highlight song of the show.

I was in Arlington on both nights. Orion is my favorite Metallica song and listening live to it for the first time was a dream come true.

I remember seeing them play this song in theaters. It sounded awesome live

imagine this... I've been listening to Metallica for 17 years... this year I played the first concert in my life... both in Amsterdam... first concert, first song... And that's Orion! a song that even in my dreams I never thought I would hear live... it happens as the first song at my first concert! Fuck yeah!! 🤘🤘

James’ face at 5:20 is like he just knows Cliff is rocking right alongside them. They killed this song and it’s one of my all-time favorites 🙌🏼 I love this

I was there in the AT&T Stadium to see Metallica perform, it was my first time experiencing a concert and it had to be my favorite band of all time, THANK YOU METALLICA!!!! ❤🔥🤘🎸

Metallica and Cliff Burton will forever be in my heart ❤️ June 5.1986 McAllen Texas

Never in a million years thought this would be a normal part of their setlist, but no better way to remember Cliff. Absolutely crushes

The intro is stunning. It reminds me of the opening , brooding drones to the theme from The Terminator. Totally sounds perfect to the song. Incredible.

I saw the Arlington show when it was playing at my local movie theatre here in Toronto, it was my first time seeing them live and they absolutely killed it

That intro transition was so good it gave me chills.

Amazing performance I saw them live in Phoenix and when they played Orion I cried! Thanks to Robert and thanks to Cliff! 🙏🏻

Essa banda tá cada vez mais incrível❤❤❤

this song is a masterpiece

Trujillo honors cliffs legacy every time they perform this live, RIP cliff burton

Cliff is awesome. I saw him in Montreal 1986. Weeks before his passing. One of the best bass players ever. God bless Burton. ❤

love this band

My favorite metallica song, and song of all time. Nothing will ever beat it. RIP Cliff🤘🏻

O tempo não chega para os mestres. Cada dia com a performance mais brilhante!

I was at this show with my dad and this was the song I recorded front to back, greatest first concert

The 1 second pause right before they came in made it hit so much harder

I'll never stop getting goosebumps every time I listen to this epic fkn song. 💦

I still can't believe I've seen them open with Orion in Amsterdam. First show of this tour. I lost my freaking mind when they played it

40 years later, they still make me jump out of my chair. Big, very big.❤

James' voice sound so clear here. amazing!

I still can’t believe I got to hear this masterpiece live when they stopped in LA. Truly a night I’ll always remember and treasure! 🤘🏼

A PERFEIÇÃO EXISTE E EU POSSO PROVAR. 🤘🏽🇧🇷🔥🇧🇷🔥🇧🇷🔥🇧🇷🔥🇧🇷🔥🤘🏽

Sitting in this crowd was incredible! I can't wait to see them again! 🤘

What an awesome weekend in Arlington with my two sons!

What an amazing pair of shows. Memories for a lifetime with the Metallica family

Orionnnnnnnnnnn!!! Metallica best band ever 🤘

I WAS THERE... BOTH SHOWS!!! It was so loud... The loudest concert I've ever been too. The second night I had to bring earplugs because my ears were literally in pain after the first concert. I was so scared I would lose my eardrums the second night. LOL!

The song that got me into metal. Been a die hard fan ever since.

So glad to have been able to see this in the theatres!

First solo starts at 3:53 which is one of my faves to play on guitar (or at least attempt to 😂). I never thought I’d ever see my fave Metallica song played live. Thanks for making my dream come true in Montreal!

Can't believe an 80's band is still rocking this good in 2023 !!! "Formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich"

God I wish I was back there. I want the rest of my life to be spent at Metallica concerts

5:22 - 5:25 you can see James just feeling the vibe and feeling the energy. So cool to see.

Papa get well soon, we need you🥺❤️

So happy I was able to hear this song in person! It was incredible. First time it’s ever been played in Texas!

can't believe i saw it in a theatre. this, with the entirety of the setlist, made me so nearly break my neck. it was a birthday present, and i am genuienly so happy i managed to see an entire metallica concert.

Seeing this song played live at download festival 2023 was a spiritual experience. God bless Cliff Burton…

Cliff Burton was one hell of a songwriter! Metallica’s greatest songs were written when he was involved, even after his untimely death. RIP Cliff Burton! Metallica forever🤘🏼

Saw it live. nothing short of amazing. Thank you for 2 fantastic nights. RIP Cliff

This was my first concert, literally the coolest day of my entire life.

Arlington show was fucking amazing! You rock, always and forever.

You really don’t realise how big this m72 tour stage is until you watch the fly around at 1:22 and love the “pulsing purple on stage” tube lights at 1:44 and once again thank you for m72incinima even though it wasn’t live in the uk on the day you played Texas but it felt like I was there in person who ever was in charge of creating those amazing camera shots/ angles you did a fantastic job and 7:15 another epic full stage angle and I love at the end James gives cliff a shout out

That intro is just pure goosebumps,love the wee damage inc nod in there

The emotion that this song brings me. For the longest time this was one of the songs I had hope to hear them play live before they call it a day. And Im so glad I was here at this show and got to experience it. As soon as I heard the intro fading in, I instantly got goosebumps. And once they started playing, my eyes welled up with joy.

This was a fantastic performance of an incredible song. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

i was there in person both nights. by far my favorite concerts ever. also one of my favorite songs they played in arlington. and even though cliff died 30+ years before i was born, i still get teary eyed when the guys talk about him. thank you metallica for: 1) coming to texas 2) playing all of the songs that i cried to during the concert(orion, nothing else matters, one, fade to black, call of ktulu) 3) staying together through everything that’s happened over the past (almost) 42 years 4) making songs that get me through life, give me something to bond with my friends over, and most importantly that make me happy thank you so much metallica. -your biggest fan (from texas at least) 👊🏻💀👊🏻

Please please please play this in Edmonton next summer!!!!!

simply magical...... heavenly..... soul warming...... harmonies . thank you all

It is cool of them to give us all these free concert videos. Thank you, Metallica. RIP Cliff

I was there experiencing this beautiful masterpiece live and I would have to say Cliff would have been proud! 💜🤘🏼

Great performance by metal royalty 🤘R.I.P. Cliff

I fucking Love Metallica's instrumentals! Orion is always so beautiful to hear!! RIP Cliff🙏

What lucky you are people, to keep on watching live such an amazing and awesome METAL band from the 80's... record everything you can, because those 4 incredible horsemen may be will stand no longer than few more years... Up the Metallic grandaddys!!!

No other heavy metal instrumental is this cool. Congrats on 10M!!⚡

Was there both nights with my daughter - absolute perfection both nights 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was HEADBANGING this whole entire concert and I mean every song I’m so happy I got to finally hear Orion live I honestly can’t even remember half the show because my eyes were closed banging my head and screaming the lyrics but it was so worth it

gives me chills everytime🤘🏻

Always great to see the boys havin fun jammin and playing a unique Orion/Jam session for the late Brother Cliff..RIP bass soldier..watch over the guys from up there..Speedy recovery Papa Het..get well soon..the stage needs You..cheers

This is the most album true performance of Orion I've found on youtube

I was there! It was amazing!!!! 🤘

Robert Trujillo with the soul of Cliff Burton 😎🫡 My respect to him. I like the new bass yellow of him with the legend 72, the guitar Ktulu of James and of course, the Gibson of Kirk. R.I.P Cliff Burton ✨⭐🌟🌟⭐✨Now you in Orion and Heaven.

Rob has great technique and musical versatility, but he plays the song with the utmost respect for Cliff without introducing a dogmatic interpretation. I respect him. Metallica should turn up the bass volume overall.

I can finally say: I was there 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I've waited nearly 25 years to hear this live like this what a performance. What a sound. What a Metallica. 😂

Being there for two nights was awesome!! But being in the snake pit on Sunday was a dream come true, and I will never forget it!!! Thanks Justin for taking us up there!!!!!

Одна из величайших композиций легендарной группа!!!

KIRKY, BABY🎸🤘 ♥️‼️ RIP Cliff

"Nós sentimos a sua falta, nós te amamos, Cliff." Quem consegue sentir a energia que o Cliff deixou em suas composições no Metallica, e, na minha opinião, principalmente nessa música, com certeza se emocionou ao escutar isso do James. Cliff sempre estará em nossos corações.
